The Action: The sub-penthouse was designed by award-winning Gomberoff Bell Lyon Architecture. It is located near the intersection of Broadway and Oak, with easy access to restaurants, shopping, transit, hospital, Granville Island and bike routes.

What They Got: The buyers got a two-bedroom-and-den corner unit in the sub-penthouse level of The Zone on West Broadway.

The unobstructed panoramic views of False Creek, English Bay and downtown is the most outstanding feature of the 895 square-foot unit that was built five years ago.

The Agent's Take: "The unit was perfect for someone who needs a 'look at me' lifestyle, as all your guests will be in awe of the view. Plus, there were two parking stalls, which is rare," agent Ian Watt said.

The lack of a hallway in the floor plan meant no wasted space. As well, the unit had two patios, which is fairly unique for the size, Watt added.
